John Wall
Wall is an elite defensive talent and one of the fastest players in the league. Now six years into his career we are ready to anoint Wall as a Top 20 player in the NBA. The moment Wall pushes Washington to the Eastern Conference Finals he will skyrocket in our rankings.
Blake Griffin
Griffin is the second best part of a Clippers team that hasn’t found the next level despite their heavy expectations. His career numbers, 21 PPG and 10 RPG, are hard to look away from. Griffin has also found a capable mid range jumper — making him very dangerous.
